Letter.

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-COnSplracy is the
charge under which two men, said by
the police to be rabid anarchists, were
taken from the central station this
afternoon and locked up at the armOry.
The two men, with a number of others
who are either under lock and key or
under closest surveillance, are said by
the police to be implicated in plot, the
exact nature of which the police are not
yet ready to diyulge, but which cOntem-
plated the use of force against the exc
cution of the death sentence on the con-
demned reds. Frederick N. Horst was
arrested late on Saturday night by De
tective Schuttler, in the vicinity of ely
bourn avenue and Division street. At
the time of his arrest Horst had on his
person four thirty-eight-caliber double
action revOlvers of cheap pattern.
These weapons were for delivery to
Emil Wende, to whom Horst was under
contract to bring dozen revolvers of
the same pattern. Wende, in turn, was
to distribute the weapons to persons
already selected. Wende was arrested
a very short time after Horst, and both
we're detained at the central station
until this afternoon. Wende was

tional charge of carrying concealed
weapons was placed. Lieut.. Steele
says the department has enough evi-
dence to convict these two men and
number of others of conspiracy. For
two years anarchists and socialists have
made headquarters in the northwestern
portion of the North side, aud especial
attention has been given by the police
to that section since the decision of the
supreme court at Ottowa. Many of the
men indicted after the Haymarket
massacre, but never brought to trial,
live and work in that section. While,
to all outward appearances, they seemed
to have avoided their old haunts and
sympathizers, they have secretly been
taking an interest in the promulgation
of their old-time doctrines. The police
have had spies among them, and as
soon as they began their plotting last
week a number of them were taken in
by the detectives. Lieut.. Steele refuses
to say how many prisoners have been
made. A suggestion of
The Revolving Incidents
that may at any moment happen in the
county Jail prior to the execution of the
anarchists, was developed this after
noon when Engel sent out to his wife
what was. to all appearances, simply
basket of dirty dishes and very soiled
linen. Although the stuff was not going
to, but from the anarchists, one of the
deputies became suspicious of Engel's
soliciiude concerning the rubbish. In
stituting hurried search, the official
soon saw the cause of Engers anxiety.

contents of the basket was a secret note
in German to the anarchists Grabbed
looking little wife, who stood close at
hand watching with strange eagerness.
AS the crumpled paper was brought
forth, she and Engel exchanged glances
and then turned stolidly away. The
note stated briely that Engel would
again attempt suicide before Friday,
and that he would never die on the
gallows. Immediately precautions were
ordered taken so that henceforth every
move of Engel from now until he goes
to. the scaffold will be within arms
reach of a guard.
